Here is more information about the talk:

Title: The Bandits' Dilemma: Taking From One Versus Taking From Many (with
A. Cappelen, I. Haaland, E. Sørensen and B. Tungodden)

 

Abstract:

We investigate whether people morally justify small, dispersed harm more
than concentrated, significant harm. Using a real-stakes-taking decision
within a nationally representative panel study, we show that participants
prefer taking small amounts from many victims over taking a larger amount
from one. We present multiple sources of evidence that this behavior is not
driven by traditional utilitarian arguments, revealing instead that people
perceive dispersed harm as less morally significant. We validate this
finding by relating the decision to disperse harm among many to attitudes
toward tax evasion.


If you are interested in meeting after the seminar (meeting slots of 30’)

Best regards,

Sylvia
